I did a basket full of $5 bracelets. No one pawed through it except for me showing them what was in there. I sold zero products that day. My $10 earrings (which I normally sell for $20) did not even move although a lot of people came and picked them up. That day everyone was only buying stuff for a quarter or a dollar. My son kept telling me to lower prices but I wasn’t willing to let things go below my cost of parts even. Scarves that were handmade were not even selling for $5, which is my cost pretty much. We were at the back end of the market but people were buying only produce and unique items that day. Lost $40 entrance fee, but it was a good experience, I talked to a lot of ladies about my jewelry making classes.
